Health and Nutrition

We pride ourselves in offering children a well-balanced and nutritious diet throughout the day. Breakfast, a two course hot meal at lunchtime, mid-morning snack and a high tea are provided in nursery. As lunch is provided by a professional outside caterer, Naturecater, we can cater for any special dietary requirements. We do however ask parents of babies to provide milk and Holiday club children to bring packed lunches from home.
